Uncharted 2 multiplayer demo now available

If your treasure-hunting urges need to be sated before Uncharted 2: Among Thieves launches on October 13th, slap on your spelunking gear and grab the demo off of the PlayStation Network.

As of this writing, the demo isn’t easily accessible, so you’ll have to do some treasure hunting of your own. You’ll have to dig in the alphabetical menus of the PSN’s demo page to find the 1.2GB demo, which is essentially a public release of this summer’s multiplayer beta. You can toy with the party system or hop in matchmaking to get your 5v5 killin’ on, and it’s smooth sailing from there. The net code is already in great shape with almost no noticeable lag, and the maps — I checked out the Ice Cave and Temple — don’t seem to have been stripped of any visual detail. This is just as gorgeous online as it is off.

Be sure to check out the demo before the game launches in two weeks. It gives you a taste of how well acrobatic exploration mixes with balls-to-the-wall action, and there are two new maps to poke around in for previous beta players.

It’s great to know that Sony really have a hit on their hands. It seems that they’ve had a hard time up until recently, but looking at Uncharted, Killzone 2, Resistance, LittleBigPlanet…the PS3 has always had great games, it’s just that now people are actually noticing. And for a PS3 owner, this is grand news indeed!
